This article was previously published under Q186968
SYMPTOMS
When you click a hyperlink that is referenced to a bookmark in a Word
document,
- The document opens but does not go to the specified bookmark location.
-or-
- You receive an error message stating that the browser cannot find the
Internet site <path>\<Filename.doc#<bookmark>
CAUSE
The hyperlink is referenced to a bookmark in a Microsoft Word document
(*.doc). Web browsers do not currently support the use of anchors in files
that are not in HTML format.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, you must save the document containing the
bookmarks as HTML format.
To save a Word document as HTML, follow these steps:
- Open the document.
- On the File menu, click Save As.
- In the Save Current Document As list, click HTML Document
(*.htm;*.html;*.htx).
- Click OK.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition allows you to use hyperlinks to go to a
bookmark location in another document. This functionality is not disabled
when editing a file that is saved as HTML. So, while editing an HTML file,
if you insert a hyperlink to a bookmark location in a Word document
(*.doc), that hyperlink will open the referenced document and go to the
specified location.
